CECT sure is on a roll recently – but as fake PSP phones go, this one’s pretty lame. The only aspect that CECT ripped from the Sony PSP is the silvery, circle logo on the backside of the device (and the PSP-like lettering). We’re not sure what “GVP” stands for, but the CECTN518-1 sports a…

CECT 198 copies SE K810 keys – another phone, another clone
CECT, known for their prodigious clone-manufacturing, has released their CECT198 with a keypad that is strikingly similar to the Sony Ericsson K810 – but then again, making strikingly similar pieces is what CECT does best.

Sony Ericsson has made available updates for two of its smartphones, W950i and P990i. The W950i update is minor, and brings better speed dial previews, new payment transactions menu, and more free RAM. On the other hand, after the P990i works like a charm.

Unofficial iPhone ad targets New Yorkers
If I’m a New Yorker, I would definitely be touched with this ad. Hack, this works anyway. Now that I’m thinking, this is probably the best iPhone ad I’ve seen — not that Apple’s official ads are bad, it’s just I’m more into storytelling-kind-of-ads and this one hits right on target. “No buttons, huh?” –…
Sidekick Slide coming in September?
Just as we posted about the new Sidekicks coming to T-Mobile, the new details appeared. Apparently, one of the upcoming devices will have a slider, not a rotating “sidekick” mechanism for opening up the keyboard. One wonders why it’s still called Sidekick?
